about

‘Pain’ is about someone who is trying to deal with the death of a loved one, the futility of their coping strategies (alcohol, religion, sex), and about eventually giving in and facing the pain head-on in an attempt to move forward.

lyrics

Come home and stay the night.
Nothing is this black and white.
Dim the bedroom light
If you can hear me.
Get the dog to bark.
Why's everything so hard?

All the pain I had is unraveling now.
All the pain I had,
I'm pulling thread by thread
To raise my dead.
Every day I'm getting better.
I know every day I'm getting better.
I know every day I'm getting better.
Ay, ay, ay.
No, I am.

I've tried the booze, the bells.
Paid charlatans for spells.
What the day repels just
Rises rested, waiting in the dark.
Why's everything still so hard?

All the pain I had is unraveling now.
All the pain I had, I'm pulling thread by thread
To raise my dead.
Every day I'm getting better.
I know every day I'm getting better.
I know every day I'm getting better.
I know I am.

Still, I'd rather be someone who loved.
Still, I'd rather be someone who loved.
All the pain I had is unraveling now.
All the pain I had is unraveling now.
